Winter Poem

The cold of the winter
Duffel coats and bobble hats
Red, white and green
Christmas is nigh

The streets of London 
Paved with precious grey
Up in a smoke
A concrete jungle of sorts

Robins, blackbirds and magpies
Green cosmopolitan valleys
Gardens of earth

Salons and appointments 
Non locals come in
Traffic jams
Oil, mixed with water
Making wondrous rainbows

Global warming
We guess and wonder
When it will snow
Aiming for December 
Then falling in March

The anthems of the city
Sound and complete
Even the sounds
Of thunder and sleet

The new theory of thundersnow 
What do the planets think
Of our global terror?

More clothes on
More things gone to waste
Autumn gone but sticking together
A tradition of perfection
The birth of jesus
